Manuel Rosenthal (born June 18, 1904 in Paris, France, died June 5, 2003) was a French composer and conductor. He was one of Maurice Ravel's few students and his last.
He began violin studies at the age of nine and entered the Paris Conservatoire in 1918, at age 14 [[1]].
His conducting career began in 1934, when he became a percussionist and associate conductor of the Orchestre National de France. Rosenthal's musical career was interrupted by WWII, when he became a prisoner of war in 1940. Upon his liberation in 1944, he returned to the Orchestre National de France to become their principal conductor, a post he would hold until 1947. His other later posts included music director of the Seattle Symphony from 1948-1951 and music director of the Orchestre symphonique de Liege from 1964-1967. Rosenthal also served as professor of conducting at the Paris Conservatoire from 1962 to 1974. [[2]]
Rosenthal's best-known work as a composer was the 1938 ballet Gaîté Parisienne, based on the music of Jacques Offenbach [[3]].
